Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a spout for foaming and saving water that has a shell, a foaming assembly, a sieving assembly, and a regulator. The foaming assembly has a sleeve, a distributor, a foaming ring, and an inlet valve. The spout is mounted on a faucet to allow water to flow through the sieving assembly, inlet valve, distributor, foaming ring, and sleeve to become foam. The spout is designed to prevent impurities from clogging it, and the water flow is regulated with the regulator. The technical effects of this invention are improved foam quality, efficient water usage, and prevention of clogging."

Problems solved by technology

Once jammed, the foaming nets (73) block flow of water and may cause the water to back up and flow out of the elongated holes (710) or, if water pressure is too high, causes rupture or breakage of the spout that must therefore be replaced.
Furthermore, the conventional spout cannot regulate water flow.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, a spout for foaming and saving water in accordance with the present invention is mounted on an outlet of a faucet, foams and saves water flowing out of the faucet and comprises a shell (10), a foaming assembly (20), a sieving assembly (30), a washer (40) and a regulator (50).

[0026]With further reference to FIG. 3, the shell (10) is attached to the outlet of the faucet and has an outer surface, a faucet end, an inner surface and an outlet end, a thread (11) and a stopper (12). The thread (11) is fastened to the outlet of the faucet and is formed around the outer surface of the shell (10) near the faucet end. The stopper (12) is formed around the inner surface of the shell (12) near the outlet end.

[0027]The foaming assembly (20) is mounted in the shell (10), abuts the stopper (12) of the shell (10) and has a sleeve (21), a distributor (23), a foaming ring (24) and an inlet valve (22).

[0028]The sleeve (21) is mounted in the shell (10) and has a bo...

Abstract

A spout for foaming and saving water has a shell, a foaming assembly mounted in the shell, a sieving assembly mounted on a faucet end of the foaming assembly and a regulator mounted through the foaming assembly. The foaming assembly has a sleeve, a distributor mounted in the sleeve, a foaming ring mounted between the sleeve and the distributor and an inlet valve mounted on a faucet end of the sleeve. The spout is mounted on an outlet of a faucet to allow water to flow through the sieving assembly and the foaming assembly and mix with air to foam to provide foaming water flowing out of the spout. Impurities in the water do not clog the foam assembly and water flow is regulated with the regulator selectively mounted in a water flow hole of the inlet valve.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a spout, especially to a spout for a faucet causing foaming to save water.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Arts[0004]With reference to FIG. 5, a conventional spout is mounted on an outlet of a faucet, foams and saves water flowing out of the faucet and comprises a shell (60), a foaming assembly (70) and a sieve (80).[0005]The shell (60) is tubular and has a faucet end, an outer surface, an inner surface and a thread. The thread is formed around the outer surface of the shell (60) near the faucet end and may be fastened onto the outlet of the faucet.[0006]The foaming assembly (70) has a sleeve (71), a water flowing net (72), multiple foaming nets (73) and a distributor (74).[0007]The sleeve (71) is tubular, is metal, is securely mounted in the shell (60) and has a sidewall, an abutting rim (711) and multiple elongated holes (710). The sidewall has a faucet end and an outlet end. The abut...
